just updating my current knowledge about angel funding
If I could do all that and run the company successfully, I wouldn’t need the unknown component of angel funding! Is this the intent?
Hi Jeanne- Starting and operating a business is surely hard work, requiring specific skill sets. And, if you need to raise capital from angels and VCS, it is indeed more difficult. For years, I have advised entrepreneurs NOT to raise outside capital unless they absolutely must. Raising money takes lots of time and energy (taken from operating the business) and results in dilution of your ownership. Pursue this option only if you must. Good luck with your business! Bill
